Chapter 9 - Let the awkwardness begin

A little game of truth or dare can't hurt anyone... right?

Fern's POV

I sat all alone in the classroom, it was really quite and I think I'm about to lose my mind. Being the first in school is one thing, but being first just to catch up is another?! I hate it! Why can't I just pay attention to the teach in class instead?! Oh... right.

Sighing loudly for myself, I once again opened my book to take some more notes as I heard the door slide open. Who the hell is coming to school now?! Except me. I looked up as I tried to get a look but couldn't see anyone. Just as I got up and was about to close the door again, someone bumped right into me, making me fall back onto the floor.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!!", he quickly apologiuzed as he got himself off of the floor to help me up. "No it's-... It's fine, don't worry.", I said as I dusted of my skirt before I looked up. Holy mother of god. It's him. He bumped into me?! He touched me?! And he looked at me weird...

"Huh?", I said confused. "I asked if your sure? I can take you to the nurse's office if you want?", he looked totally lost as he pointed with him thumb behind himself. "Huh? Oh, no. Don't worry, I'm fine!", I waved it off awkwardly. "Really?", he asked again. "Really!", I smiled slightly. He didn't say anything, just smiled back at me as.... he got down on the floor?

"What are yo- Oh.", I started but cut myself off as I got down the floor, helping him pick up his stuff. "Here.", I said in a low voice as I handed him his book. "Thank-", he stopped as he was about to take the books from me but touched my hands instead. An awkward silence filled the room as we just sat there awkwardly on the floor, staring and blushing embarrassed at each other, yet no one drew their hands away.

I heard a few voice out the corridors, making both me and Kikwang turn our heads as I quickly let go of the book as he qucikly jerked them away from me.

"T-thanks.", he stuttered embarrassed as he tried to look away. I just hummed awkwardly as I gave him a small nod, awkwardly walking back to my seat. And with my brain, you totally forget the fact that he actually sits right next to you.

He put down his books carefully on his desk as he took his seat. I know that I can be pretty awkward, but he'll probably take the prize for it. There he sat, both hands placed on his books as he whistled lightly and rolled his thumbs. He kind of looked like an old man...

"How come you're here so early?", I made an attempt to start a conversation. "I honestly have no idea.", he shook his head cluelessly. I couldn't help but chuckle at him. Awkward and stupid, what a catch?

"What are you doing here so early then? School doesn't start until like an hour, and my guess is that you've been sitting here for a while?", he suddenly asked, looking at me with his clueless face. "Well... yeah. I came about an hour ago. I have some stuff to catch up on.", I shrugged as I sarted writing down a few notes. "Can't you study at home?", he asked again. "What? You don't want me to be here with you?" He looked at me with a surprised face. "Did I just say that out loud?", I asked embarrassed. He just nodded with a poker face. I felt my face heat up as I quickly hit my head against the desk, trying to hide my burning face as I mumbled a low "Sorry."

It went quiet for a second. Too quiet for too long with other words. I kind of got a heartattack as he suddenly started to laugh out loud.

"What?!", I yelled as I looked at him with a shocked expression. "You're so weird.", he said in between his laughs. "Says the weirdest one.", I pouted annoyed. His laughs slowly died down as a smile still remained on his face.

Why is he staring at me? Stop staring at me. Should I look away? Or do I seem impolite if I do? Should I say somethnig? Please say something.

"W-what?", I stuttered. He just shrugged. I slowly turned away from him as I started re-reading what I just read, trying to write down a few more notes.

"What's your name again?", he suddenly asked, making me look up at him confused. "Huh?", I asked dumbfounded. "Your name.", he giggled lightly. Sweetest giggle to ever exist. "My name?", I asked once again. He must think I'm retarded... "Yeah.", he laughed at me. "F-Fern. Jung Fern.", I replied embarrassed as I bowed slightly towards him. "Fern? Like in... the plant?", he asked with a confused look. "Are you making fun of my name?", I said in a serious tone. I could see him get nervous as he tried to find something to say. "N-no! I-I-I-I-" He stopped as he heard my starting to laugh. "W-what?", he stuttered nervously. "I barely know you, but I can already tell how much of an idiot you are.", I sighed. "Yah! I'm not an idiot!", he yelled a bit hesitant. "Sure.", I replied sarcastically. "Exactly."

I looked at him weird as he just gave me a confused face back. "Just one question tho...", I started slowly. "What?" "Do you understand sarcasm?", I asked honestly. "....", he didn't say anything. I just kept staring as him, waiting for an answer. "Y-....es.", he replied hesitantly. He probably don't then.

"Why do you ask?", he asked confused. "Oh, no reason.", I shrugged as I went back to my work. He just gave me a sly look as he pulled out his phone, texting.

Aaaand I'm in love with an awkward idiot.
